Mark Few had a great comment about Jalen Suggs’ final shot that helped Gonzaga beat UCLA 93-90 in overtime on Saturday night.
Suggs made the shot of the tournament when he banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer from well beyond the arc (video here). The shot gave Gonzaga the win and sent the Bulldogs to the championship game of the NCAA Tournament.
Few said he had no doubt about the shot and knew immediately that it was going in.
Few said he had so much confidence in the shot because he sees Suggs do it all the time in practice.
Suggs finished with 16 points, including the three biggest ones. He also had a great block on a Cody Riley dunk attempt with two minutes to go in regulation.
Now the Bulldogs will face Baylor in the championship game on Monday, looking for their first national title.
